STAFFORDSHIRE, 
About ten years ago a leafe was granted by 
Lord Crewe of an eftate in Madely, to Mr. 
Elkington, the celebrated drainer. It con- 
fitted of about five hundred acres, three hun- 
dred of whici were io unfound, that a perfon 
could noteven walk upon it. Half of it has 
been drained, and brought into a ftate of cul- 
tivation; The crops of turnips raifed upon 
it, both of the common and Swedifh fort, 
have been remarkably fine ; and the land is 
become fo firm as to admit of their being fed 
of by cattle. In the fucceeding crops an un- 
uiual difficulty has occurred ; for though Mr. 
Elkington, from the extreme luxuriance of 
the foil, thought it expedient to fow only half 
the ufual quantity of feed, the barley-crops 
have been fo ftrong, as to be uniformly laid, 
the grain of courfe much injured, and the 
clover and grafs-feeds deftroyed. Mr. El- 
kington has, however, been fuccefsful in nis 
attempts to render this land more promifing 
by exbaufling crops. Lafi year he had tea 
acres of herp : the crop was great, and the 
grafs roots fuch as to aftonifh the neighbour- 
heod. From the fame motive Mr. Eiking- 
ton has reduced the foil by fucceffive crops 
of oats upon lands that have borne two pre- 
Vious crops of corn without manure. - Re 
obtained laft year the amazing produce of 174 
bufhels of good oats from five bufheis ana 
eleven. quarts of feeds fown broad caft. This 
extraordinary return has been made from land 
which a few years ago-was not worth one 
shilling per ‘cit,
